I commented aside to my daughter, "Yes, because ·parents get pulled into wanting to pass things on to their children.'' She came out of her usual adolescent privacy with an i~mediate profouqd response, "But Mom, why don't parents realize -that the most' important thing they can pass on to their children is their values?" Well, we realized it on one-level, but at the time of our taking in Chris, we were having great trouble applying it in practice. Then we got involved with Chris, and through Chris with Jimmie, and through the jail work with another Jim, and they all ended up in our home. Inevitably, by bringing the world and its problems into our home, we quit shutting ourselves off from it. One day as I was going to work, thinking about the· lives anq needs of Chris, Jim, and Jimmie, I was suddenly flooded with the joyous awareness that God had given us the answer to our prayerful search for simplicity.
